more folks heading towards the area approaching san mateo bridge. but no surprises here. back to you. thanks, mike. breaking news to tell you about this morning. sunnyvale officers are working hard to find a motive after they say a driver plowed into a group of people. and it may have been on purpose. >> that's the part that's really hard to believe. bob redell is live at the scene. bob, you have been telling us all morning some of the roadways are still closed as the investigation continues. >> kris and marcus, the sun sunnyvale department of public safety believes this was an intentional act, the plowing down of eight people at the el camino real and sunnyvale avenue. some of the lanes are still shut down. we are waiting for the sun to come out to get a look at the scene. this happened 6:40 last night. according to witnesses, the driver of a black sedan did not try to swerve. no indication he tried to brake.

as a matter of fact, he actually accelerated when he came to this intersection and hit those eight people. two of the people were on bicycles. the other on foot. some were in the crosswalk, others on the sidewalk waiting to cross. all eight taken to the hospital. the youngest 13 years old. he hit a tree. he was taken into custody. he is being questioned by police. trying to figure out why he did that. that is one of the big question marks. they have not identified who this person is. they will have a press conference later today. hopefully they will update us on some of the details. the intersection is open to traffic.

"today in the bay"'s pete suratos is live in walnut creek. 4:15 for regular gas. that is out of control. >> reporter: yeah. that's right, marcus. you just showed the map. we are standing in one of the red areas in walnut creek behind me. as you mentioned, 4:15 a gallon. the average is just above $4. governor tkpaf innew some is trying to get to the bottom of this and wants answers. he is calling on the energy commission to figure out why gas prices are so high in california. some say it is higher taxes, tougher regulations and trouble at refineries. a study by the petroleum market advisory disputes the notion saying it didn't account for the price difference. according to gasbuddy.com, the average price is $4.303, a $1 more than the national average.

analysis by uc berkeley says it has cost california deny ns $17 billion since february 2015. here's what drivers in walnut creek are saying about those high gas prices. >> years change. we don't improve as much as as in getting paid more. feels like it stays the same but prices on everything, including gas, just goes up and it's bad. >> >> this is the part about living in california. we have high taxes across the board. and gas is just one of the elements of that. >> reporter: now, the energy commission plans to start this probe immediately. governor new some wants the preliminary done by may 18th. >> stand in front of it so we don't have to see the prices anymore. they are painfully high. 6:06. today is a big one for

immigration in america. >> the trump administration's push to keep asylum seekers in mexico will get a hearing before the ninth circuit in san francisco. tracie pots is live with what's happening and what it means for immigrant families who feel like they are in so much limbo, tracie. >> reporter: exactly. and they are they are. the ninth circuit that president trump talks about so often and dislikes is going to hear this case about whether or not the administration can force these families seeking asylum to stay in mexico while they're waiting for their cases to be heard before a judge. typically in the united states, they're allowed to stay in the u.s., they get a court date, they come and make their case before a judge. but the trump administration, for a number of reasons, wants to send them back over the border to wait, saying there is a crisis, that immigration resources are overwhelmed at the border. so starting back in january, they started this idea of dealing with the backlog of 800,000 cases by making people wait on the other side of the

border. a district judge disagreed with that. and now the appeals court today is going to take a look at that. the lower court put a temporary halt on it. so it is not in place yet. it came at a time when the president was also trying to send some of the migrants to sanctuary cities like san francisco. the new development today is this appeals court that has so much back and forth with the trump administration taking a close look at whether it's constitutional to force folks to apply for asylum but wait on the other side of the border for a judge to hear the case. >> a lot of those are interested in this one. tracie, thank you. caltrans reportedly putting the brakes on a planned renovation of the mcarthur maze. critics fear it could spawn a carmageddon. remember that whole mess in l.a.?

>> carlson comes in. he scores! >> and we feel it. this is the kind of game that sharks fans have never experienced before. so happy they could experience this. think about all the people live there last night who were able to see that. the shocker at the shark tank sends team teal to the next round against colorado. all right. a lot of folks saying that was a pretty dirty hit, that it wasn't really an accident. hopeful live joe is feeling better this morning. he will need advil at least, kari. >> i think so. maybe just putting his face on the ice. all right. so we're getting ready for the warriors game tonight. here's a live look outside as we start out, sunshine. it will be a hot day. let's get you out the door in

trump complained about tariffs on harleys and said so unfair to the u.s., we will reciprocate. now, we have talked in the past how president trump's descriptions of what's going on in the world of tariffs don't match up with reality or even match what he said in the past. the eu increased tariffs on harley davidson as a response to our tariffs. they went from 6% to 33%. so harley moved a factory overseas to reduce its costs from the tariff. and president trump then told fans to boycott harley. here he is in june of last year. >> spent a lot of time with them. build them in the usa. your customers won't be happy if you don't, i'll tell you that. >> other news, s&p 500, nasdaq opening at record highs this morning. boeing keeps holding the dow down. tesla reports financials. that will be important today. microsoft, facebook due too. big day for earnings. we were talking tuesday about herman cain dropping out of the nomination for fed governor.

he said it doesn't have anything to do with economics, but we certainly like to be people's character. thank you, scott. >> princess meghan markle may be breaking with british tradition yet again. the california native wants to take just three months of maternity leave. typically women in england take six months to a year. the princess wants to return to working behind the scenes with charities. all right. got to love when they zoom in on the bump. >> they're like she's just taking three months? it's, like, just three? >> does she get partial pay? >> all right. so, yeah, this morning we're starting out with sunshine. we know it's going to be a hot day. that's what we'll be talking about, the temperatures cranking up. and it's going to feel like summer. we start out with no fog right now. a live look outside at the golden gate bridge. it's going to be sunny.

and those temperatures going up fast. this is where we begin. 55 degrees in san francisco. 54 in napa. and you step out the door already to 60 in oakland. 62 in palo alto. as you're getting up and getting the kids ready for school this morning, in martinez, expect it to be right at around 60 degrees. it will be a nice walk to school as the kids head out for recess, it will start to warm up. by the time you go back to pick them up from school, we'll be in the upper 80s today. let's go to the south bay with a look at our highs today. los gatos reaching 86 degrees. 87 in milpitas. there will be a light breeze picking up today. but it's not going to provide much relief when the temperatures are reaching 9 2 in concord. 88, martinez. for the peninsula, a comfortable 70 degrees a lot half moon bay. 80, daly city. upper 70s, even a few spots in san francisco reaching back into the low 80s. in the low 90s, though, for santa rosa, reaching 93.

that's where we will probably see more records set again today. so it's a day where it's going to be hot. a lot of tree pollen. you'll probably just want to stay in the air-conditioning today. that will help out with the allergies and your comfort level. we have seen quiet weather. high pressure causing the air to sink. as the air sinks, it warms. but it is steering any clouds away from the bay area. we will see a change in the pattern going toward the end of the weekend. even a slight chaps of rain as the storm system nears the region. i don't think we will see a lot out of this. we will keep a slight chance in the forecast late sunday, early monday. it will cool off our temperatures. much more of an ocean breeze into the beginning of next week. as you head over to mike, tracking another crash in the tri-valley. >> yeah, we had the early crash at the dublin interchange. it cleared. good recovery for the speeds. we may see a little more slowing again. right now take a second and look at this map.

it is great. a little build through san jose. standard pattern. much easier than we see typically at 6:20. approaching the dublin interchange, right two lanes blocked by a crash. sounds like things are moving quickly. i will track that very quickly. smooth drive for pleasanton. 880 south in union city also picking up the volume. westbound of course is your commute. there's a little bit of volume traffic. building through dublin. again, nothing major. 25 minutes, under highway 4 at the toll plaza. cash lanes looking lighter than the rest lanes. westbound commute looking nice over on the peninsula. we are just seeing the build. back to you. >> thanks, mike. well, it happened again. yet another death at one of america's national treasures. what we know of the latest person to die at the grand

along the el camino, sunnyvale, we expect those to be open at 10:00. reporting live in sunnyvale, bob redell, "today in the bay". all right. bob, thank you. so you can stay on top of this breaking news along with us we are posting our very latest reporting online. go to our home page. that's nbcbayarea.com. follow bob on twitter. @bobnbc. san francisco port commissioners approving a deal that should pave the way for a waterfront navigation center. it would start with 130 beds, ramping up to 200 in half a year. there were many supporters. some neighbors there last night were outraged. >> i was just called a racist, big ol', class elitist for not wanting to use my backyard for

the commute to be kicking in. 6:36. we should see more traffic to a typical wednesday. spring breaks are rotating around. wrapping up the spring breaks, heading into the weekend where if today might be too hot for you, this weekend might be a little more pleasant. >> we have something for everybody in this forecast. it's going to be hot today. as we go into the weekend, it's still going to be warm in some areas, especially the inland valleys. reaching low 80s. bay at 75. 63 for the coast. slightly cooler on sunday. we'll see more clouds moving in. expect it to reach 77 degrees inland. for the bay on sunday, 70 degrees. 60 degrees for the coastal areas. if you want to go hiking this weekend, muir woods looks great. it will be the low 70s, reaching low 70s on friday. by saturday, we're at 69. cooler on sunday. if you are going to yosemite or spots nearby, a chance of rain

(time check ( good wednesday morning. right now at 6:41, it starts out nice and comfortable around the bay area. that's a live look outside at fremont, 880.

everything looking good, the sun is shining. but it's going to be hot today. reaching into the mid-80s by early afternoon. we will talk about where we can set new records and if it cools off. that's in the forecast in less than five minutes. and looking at the san mateo bridge. i have started a little something in this shot. we'll show you the hidden picture coming up if you can't find it. if you're planning to fill up on your commute, expect pain at the pump. we are paying the highest prices in all of the country. this is a gas station in contra costa county where drivers will pay $4.15 for regular. never mind the premium if your car calls for that. an average for a gallon is $4.03, so we're even higher than that. this unexplained price hike is costing californians $17 billion since february 2015.

>> years change. we don't improve as much as as in getting paid more. it feels like it stays the same, but prices on everything, including gas, just goes up and it's bad. >> this is the part about living in california. we have high taxes across the board. gas is just one of the elements of that. >> a state commission to start is a probe into the prices immediately. governor gavin newsom wants a preliminary analysis by may 15th. >> 6:43 right now. uber is aiming to keep you safer. the ride-sharing company says your location data can be shared with 9 11 dispatchers. riders can find an emergency button on the app. if you press it, dispatchers will know your location.

a called called summit learning is facing backlash in the midwest. it's an education program and it's not going well. nbc's ron mott spoke with kids in kansas who were pulled out of glass >> reporter: good morning to you. both here in routpin rural kans things are popping up, a silicon valley approach to learning. they have instituted it here in some of the schools. it is being met with resistance as you can see on the windows behind me. some of the parents have gone as far as pulling kids out of their schools. they said too much focus on computer instruction, screen time. a lot of them are staring at screens for a better part of the school week, learning instruction that way. some students say they simply can't learn that way. not enough reaction between teachers and students. it's a big topic here and elsewhere in kansas where they are trying this out. this is not a new approach. the curriculum programs have

been in place 15 years. it has installed around 400 schools in the united states. but here it is not going so well. >> no. i won't use the middle school, the elementary schools or the high school they are planning for all the schools to go to summit next year, and i will move all of my kids out of the district. >> is a complete report on the "today" show when we see you in just a minute. for now, accepted it back to you. all right. thank you very much. new this morning, up to 200 people living in a homeless camp along highway 1 in santa cruz are getting more time before they are forced to move. they were supposed to leave today. if you have been to santa cruz lately, you have probably seen them behind the ross store on river street. yesterday a federal judge stopped a superior court judge's decision to evict the homeless there. activists were granted a temporary restraining order. earlier in the week the campers were being asked to voluntarily

leave and to go to a nearby park so city workers could clean up the property. >> 6:45 right now. and the president says this morning that he will stop an impeachment by going to the supreme court. >> scott mcgrew, that's not how impeachment works. >> no, it is not, kris. we are struggling to understand what the president means. in a tweet he sent out just a short time ago, he says, if the partisan dems ever try to impeach, i would first head to the supreme court. not only are there no high crimes and misdemeanors, there are no crimes by me at all. now, there are a couple of things to unpack here. impeachment is done in congress. the charges brought by the house, the conviction in the senate, the constitution, using the words congress has the sole power. the supreme court is not involved exempt in the sense that the chief justice acts as a judge in the trial. you can't stop impeachment in the supreme court. you can, as nixon and clinton

did, ask the supreme court to stop congress from gathering certain evidence. both incidentally failed. trump pointed out several days in a row he has not been charged with a crime and thus can't be impeached. that's also not how this work. the constitution is vague about what qualifies for impeachment. misdemeanor doesn't mean crime. it means miss behavior. there is accepted legal policy that a president cannot be charged with a crime, which leaves impeachment the only result. we're watching what, if any, congress will do a day after the trump administration defied an order to turn over his taxes. the law says this man, elijah cummings, has the power to do it. the white house has taken the claim to court. but one way or the other, we will figure out today what congress is willing to do. a lot about its stomach for defending itself as a co-equal

branch of government. we will watch that and all kinds of things today. i'll be on twitter. @scottmiss gremcgrew. >> gnaws calling this the sound of the first ever quake recorded on mars. this is detected by the inside lander seismic measuring system. >> yeah. not sure what i thought that was. but researchers believe that that sound you heard is coming from within the crest of the red planet. nasa even calls it mars quake as opposed to an earthquake, of course. they say mars has infrequent seismic activity. and this may be an unusual event there. >> these are folks who have dedicated their lives to that. if they hear it, i will have to take their word for it. >> it sounds like an ultrasound. >> mars is pregnant.
